Food truck hire in Vale of Health, served fresh
We cook inside our food truck or trailer, so your venue doesn’t need a kitchen. We need a level spot, safe access and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed per booking. It works well for back-garden parties and retirement parties, serving loaded nachos, vegan tacos and tacos from the hatch.
At a private or office event in Vale of Health, guests order at the hatch of our food truck or trailer. Tell us about the route in, height barriers and narrow entrances. We cater for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.

What we need at the venue
Everything is served from our truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Room for guests to gather at the hatch
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding where the truck or trailer can park
- The landowner’s go-ahead for the truck or trailer
In Vale of Health, as everywhere in Greater London, the ULEZ applies and kerb space is limited. Where will the truck or trailer stop? A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
For planners, venues and organisers
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so everyone is served promptly. Let us know how long the break is.
What affects the price in Vale of Health
These are the factors that matter most:
- Serving staff
- What’s on the menu
- Travel, parking and access
- How long we are needed on site
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, plus any add-ons and the location. We quote for each event individually.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- What power and water the site has
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- How we drive in and where we can park
- Your date and when you want service to start
Still deciding on the menu? No problem: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we will make suggestions. To start, tell us about it on our contact page.
How it works
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain doesn’t usually stop us serving, but guests will need somewhere covered. A hired food truck at a summer event in Vale of Health can serve in daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while late September brings sunset forward to around 7:05pm. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, plan lighting where guests queue at the hatch.
- Share your plans for the event.
- Together we plan dishes that cover your guests’ diets.
- We check power, water and timings with the venue.
- The truck serves at the agreed times.
- When everyone is fed, we clear our area.
Preparing for the day
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park

Catering for every guest
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Guests with serious allergies should contact us first
- Walk the access route and note narrow gaps
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Give us separate numbers for children
Wet weather doesn’t close the hatch, though a marquee or gazebo helps guests stay dry.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can be added to the booking, with licensing checked with you.
What’s on the menu
Tacos from the hatch
A taco is ideal food from a truck.
Loaded nachos
A tray of nachos works as a starter or a late snack; dairy-free versions can be planned.
Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.

Vale of Health: your questions answered
Is food truck hire possible at a house in Vale of Health?
A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work, depending on your street. Guests order at the hatch, so we also need room for a queue, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Is it possible to have you in Hampstead Heath?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
Do you need electricity?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Do you offer a bar with the truck?
Our Mexican drinks bar can be added to a truck booking, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. Licensing is checked with you.
Is private hire the same as trading at a festival?
When you hire us, the booking is yours, so we don’t serve passers-by. Organisers wanting us to trade at their event can see our festival page.
Do you do food truck hire for weddings?
The truck or trailer can serve the wedding breakfast, evening food or both. Timings are agreed with you and your venue. Read more in having a food truck at a wedding.
